Diablo III seems to be all
about cosmetics lately. Its latest patch is all about such enhancements and
Blizzard have apparently gotten so caught up in this wings/getup craze that
they now offer such cosmetic trinkets as a reward for purchasing some of their
other games. To make a long story short: those who have pre-purchased the
digital PC edition of Overwatch: Origins will now receive the wings of the
game's brilliant scientist and overall healer, Mercy, to use on their Diablo
III characters (and yes, the wings can be equipped by all character-classes,
not just crusaders as some rumors had it).

How exactly does this setup
work though? Players who have pre-purchased the PC version of Overwatch:
Origins Edition through Blizzard's own Battle.net shop, can now claim the set
by simply logging into Diablo III and entering a game. That's it. Accounts
which are eligible for the deal will receive an in-game achievement and the wings
will land in their collections immediately, together with another surprise
reward.

Those who haven't pre-purchased
the game can still get their hands on Mercy's wings. Overwatch: Origins Edition
becomes available at retailers on May 24. There is a printed code included with
the physical copy of the game, which can be redeemed for the wings, that will
land in one's Battle.net account. This way, even Mac players can get the
goodies (although it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to purchase the
PC copy of the game to begin with). Also, some have voiced discontent at the
fact that they are required to actually buy a game they may not even want to
play, to grab a Diablo III goodie.
